Make a Bash alias that takes a parameter?

Question

I used to use CShell (csh), which lets you make an alias that takes a parameter. The notation was something like

alias junk=\"mv \\\\!* ~/.Trash\"
         


        

Answer 1

You don't have to do anything, alias does this automatically.

For example, if i want to make git pull origin master parameterized, i can simply create an alias as follows:

alias gpull = 'git pull origin '

and when actually calling it, you can pass 'master' (the branch name) as a parameter, like this:

gpull master
//or any other branch
gpull mybranch
